the science of compliance

We are an independent team of waste management experts that specialise in helping companies
to understand and comply with a wide range of waste legislation compliance issues. With the
constant change in regulatory and enforcement requirements, businesses may not be aware they
are non-compliant and open to prosecution. We can assess need, advise on change, implement
requirements and maintain compliance as well as helping a business to optimise its waste and
recycling management.

environmental permitting and planning

Tightening Agency enforcement demands increasingly stringent compliance with permit conditions. We operate a
personalised service that takes ownership and delivers excellent value. We can prepare and submit the full
range of Environmental Permits for regulated facilities including Installations, waste operations, aircraft
dismantling sites and mobile plant. We can manage liaison with public bodies and can handle all necessary
planning requirements.

environmental management systems

Sites operating under the Environmental Permitting regime are required to have an Environmental Management
System. We can provide cost effective EMS preparation with built in scaleability to ISO14001 and the option
of an on-going maintenance package.

packaging regulations support

We have a range of options to help reduce or remove the burden of data collection, registration and on-going
compliance. From basic data verification through to complex data assessments, we can ensure obligated businesses
fully understand their obligations and can provide impartial advice on the most suitable options.

training and education

With the increasing burden of environmental legislation being imposed on UK businesses, it is essential that
they have personnel that understand the key requirements and maintain the necessary records to minimise the
risk of prosecution. Our main course covers the full range of waste legislation whilst more specific courses
focus on producer responsibility and hazardous waste.

recycling optimisation audits

Waste reduction is now considered by business leaders to be one of industry’s highest priorities, requiring
detailed waste audits and effective action plans. We can provide expert practical assessment combined with
completely impartial recommendations to ensure that businesses are able to meet their CSR expectations cost
effectively and sustainably.

farm compliance services

Farms are now becoming increasingly subject to waste legislation. Many farmers find it hard to stay up to date
with all the new infrastructure, operational, and paperwork requirements at the same time as keeping the farm
operating on a day to day basis. We have a range of services able to take the burden from farmers and to ensure
they are fully compliant including Permit applications, NVZ and farm waste exemptions.

compliance audits

The wide range of waste related regulation under which waste producers and waste management businesses have
to operate can often leave them exposed to non-compliance, either of themselves or their service suppliers.
Our Compliance Audits provide full-flow assessments of all waste activity on site as well as source and destination.

appeals

The demands on permitted sites from regulatory controls are making is increasingly difficult for operators to manage their sites within the expectations of the Environment Agency. The new powers for the Agency to suspend Permits where they believe there is a risk of pollution is leading to many operators being subject to enforcement action that could effectively put the operator out of business. In many cases, the this action may be challenged through an appeal.

registration services

Businesses must ensure they are registered for an array of waste related obligations. Hazardous waste
producers, waste carriers, exemptions, packaging, batteries and WEEE registrations can often be onerous and
time consuming. We can provide businesses with a complete registration management service to ensure deadlines
are met and registrations renewed.

fire prevention plans

Following a number of high profile fires on waste facilities, it is now a condition of an environmental permit for sites that store or treat combustible waste to have a fire prevention plan (FPP). The plan is a detailed document and management system used by site operators to effectively manage site fire risk and its impact on the environment. 360 Environmental offer a highly professional service delivered by their consultant fire risk assessor to work with waste site operators to produce a bespoke FPP.
